Poll finds growing support for voter ID requirements - (81% FOR)
The Hill ^ | 08/18/21 12:32 PM EDT | BRETT SAMUELS

A large majority of voters support laws requiring photo identification, according to a new poll from an election integrity group conducted as Democrats push for sweeping elections reforms.

A poll released this week from the Honest Elections Project found 81 percent of voters surveyed support requiring every voter to show a photo ID to cast a ballot.

The poll found support for voter ID laws rose by 4 percentage points from March to July, and it increased by 13 percentage points among Black voters surveyed.

While some Democrats have raised concerns that voter ID requirements will disenfranchise low-income voters who may not have a photo ID, 74 percent of those surveyed for the poll said they support providing free identification to voters who need one rather than doing away with ID requirements.

The poll was conducted by the Honest Elections Project, a nonpartisan group led by Jason Snead, who previously worked at the conservative Heritage Foundation. It surveyed 1,200 registered voters nationwide from July 8-17, and it has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

The survey findings were released just before Democrats on Tuesday introduced the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, a signature elections bill that party leaders have touted as a major priority despite an unclear path to passage through Congress.

Politicians should have no say in Voter ID and Term Limits

The dimoKKRATS will fight this tooth and nail. No voter ID is the basis for all of their cheating.

Virginia has had voter ID for years and nary a squawk. No body complained until outside agitators got involved.

Democrats will say, ‘81% of people are wrong and don’t really know what they want. We know better and we’ll decide for them.’.

IMO, it doesn't matter.

Whatever the form, it can be counterfeited, and poll workers will not scrutinize 'em that much.

What a joke. The elitists never pay attention to what us commoners want.

Like they're really going to do anything that could curtail their voter fraud.

So why is it that any REPRESENTATIVE of the sheeple opposes this? Are they not supposed to represent US?

81% sure sounds like a majority to me.

Voter id is passe. With mial in balloting it doesn’t matter how many real ballots you have. We can just run them thru a bunch of times. No audit controls on the process. Mail in voting must be defeated.

At this point the Democrats have the mail in ballot dodge in place and can easily allow voter ID with some face saving “safeguards” to prevent racism.

Absolutely correct. They should have extremely limited and short-term power.

Swampers care not for polls that don’t include their one world view

Let me guess, the Dems will be happy to let us all vote (by mail) on it.

Voter ID is not required in my state. I never vote by mail. The first thing I do at the polls is show my ID. When the poll worker asks for my address I remain quiet and show my ID. They have to look at it! The only thing I say at the polls is “Thank You” when they give me my ballot.
